Geez, never fully thought through all these possibilities!  It's good to
know we have the option of additional updates-testing handling if needed
in the future, but I see no reason to include that now.  If the code is
already there, can this be a command-line option for the test (used only
when manually testing)?

Otherwise, I agree with you guys, let's start with testing upgrade path
for stable and released updates.  We can adjust as needed in the future.

Thanks,
